The sickening social US dysfunction has seldom been so cowardly articulated as here.

Quote:

Hate crime charges against a black Brooklyn man for assaulting a white man could raise the stakes over what to do about the so-called “knockout game,” where primarily young black men surprise white victims with a rain of punches – sometimes for a $5 bet.

Police have been receiving reports that indicate a wave of “knockout game” incidents primarily in the Northeast, and some police are now beginning to draw connections between individual reports.

Oh, they are "beginning to draw connections" now, are they? That was quick for something that goes back at least a decade.

Quote:

Quoted by a local TV news station, Brooklyn Rabbi Yaacov Behrmann said that he believes the assaults are part of “a disturbing game by some African-American teens.”

Ha! Dweezil and Traygoon, you made a huge-ass mistake here. Killing white men, who are second-class citizens in The Blessed Land of The Free, you could go away with - but attacking another designated victim card group? Shit's gonna fall on you now.

Quote:

Some experts insist the game is a “myth” that attempts to correlate unrelated attacks into a pattern with racial overtones. Parents of teens have referred to the attacks as “pranks” that spiral out of control. Police have also been reluctant to make too big of a deal about the attacks, concerned about creating the atmosphere for copy cat crimes.

Somehow, nobody was much concerned about a wave of copycat crimes where nasty white Hispanics went out to murder innocent angelic black children. I don't particularly recall experts worrying about "attempts to correlate unrelated attacks into a pattern with racial overtones", as Traylon's martyrdom was linked to every lynching in the New World ever. And finally, nobody was sent to dig up excuses from Zimmy's parents.

Quote:

But others contend there’s a buzz among youth about the game, and troubling instances seem to be cropping up with more regularity, according to some police sources. Police, too, have begun to respond in a more organized way, with some jurisdictions beefing up patrols and increasingly exploring hate crime charges.

Ha ha, "increasingly exploring hate crime charges". Yeah, I know that is difficult, it's not like these are open and shut cases like that racist Southern TV cook, eh?

Quote:

“We’re trying to determine whether or not this is a real phenomenon,” New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said on Friday. “I mean, yes, something like this can happen. But we would like to have people come forward and give us any information they have.”

"Please, please provide us with any exudes we might use to not file this as hate crimes. Think of Erik Holder and the assorted Sons of Obama!"

Quote:

Given the extent to which such racialized attacks fit into broader societal stereotypes about young black men, police are treading carefully.

Heh. If they were treading any more "carefully", they'd have to run a Fast & Furious program to single momma's in the hood to equip their brood with.

Oh, America. How the mighty have fallen.

I think that if the parents who insist that these are "pranks that spiral out of control" were to see a law introduced removing all welfare benefits from the family of the teen that participated in these "pranks", this stuff would stop immediately.

I think this is exactly how the Klan started.

Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.

I think it would stop even faster if the parents of such "yoofs" found themselves dangling from a tree at an organized "counter-prank".

And then, of course, we would expect the same timidity and hesitation from DNC/MSM and DNC/law enforcement.

I concede that deing dependent on the government all of your life and coming from situations where this lifestyle is passed down from one generation to the next leads to a lack of self responsibility, motivation, appreiation for what you've earned, but as Moomin pointed out we aren't see white kids doing this, and there are plenty of white folks raping the system the too.

I'm not saying it's a black thing either, though from the videos we've seen it's hard not to see it that way. It's a parent thing. These kids never learned empathy and the ability to foresee the consequences of their actions, or personal responsibility, probably because their folks didn't either.

Jobs available for youth do exist at the fast food places and at the grocery stores for bag boys. I see hiring signs all the time, and even if there weren't, I babysat, mowed lawns, did odd jobs for the neighbors. What about sports, learning to play an instrument, dance and karate classes, etc., to take up your idle time, or even volunteer work. And don't tell me mom and dad can't afford the cost, they could give up their weed, fake nails or weaves to provide these things if they gave a flip about their kids, and many times these activities are offered free or at a discount price to these folks. Kids are left to their devices, as in electronics, and their own wits to amuse themselves with no direction from parents. We use to play board games and cards, and ride our bikes. Families don't do anything together anymore. While the generation-to-generation dependence on the government might contribute to this, there is much more at the core of this. Being 'poor' isn't an excuse to be a deliquent any more than being black is.
